About These Birds
Tibetan Sandplover
Tibetan Sandplover: 17–19 cm, compact high-altitude plover with a rufous-orange breast-band, black forehead patch, and short bill. Breeds on rocky alpine tundra and high plateaus of the Tibetan highlands and Himalayan ranges; winters on coastal mudflats and sandy beaches of South and Southeast Asia. Migratory. Insectivorous and invertebrate feeder.
Spot-breasted Lapwing
Spot-breasted Lapwing: 28–30 cm, Ethiopian highland endemic lapwing with a black head and breast spotted white, and red legs. Restricted to high-altitude moorland and montane grassland above 1,800 m in Ethiopia. Insectivorous. Sedentary; rare and little-studied. Declining due to overgrazing and agricultural encroachment.
